Javier stretched his body, raising both arms up before letting out a long yawn. He rubbed his stomach after the stretch, feeling the familiar rumble of hunger.
He glanced up at his pekko.
"Buddy…"
"Cuquawked?" Buddy squawked softly, tilting his head.
"You hungry?"
"Cuquawked!!" Buddy's eyes lit up, his tail feathers perking with excitement.
"But since we're on a mission, we can't grill meat or eat like rich guys, you know…" Javier scratched his head sheepishly, glancing up at his feathered companion. "We have to lay low."
"Cuquawkeddd~" Buddy's squawk dropped in disappointment, his head lowering as he let out a soft, pitiful sound.
"Just bear with it for a few days." Javier patted Buddy's body gently, a sheepish grin on his face. "I promise I'll cook you the perfect wyvern steak once this mission is done, okay?"
Buddy glanced down at him, narrowing his eyes with a suspicious side-eye before letting out a reluctant squawk.
